can he continue in membership?
If the existing member company has been acquired by a larger company with multiple printing operations there are likely to be competitive issues to be resolved and the new company must re-apply for membership. Their application will be assessed by the normal membership sub-committee procedures, which should include participation from a senior board member of the parent company at the re-presentation of the company. An important consideration will be the degree of autonomy given to the CEO of the member company, since the parent company could impose policies onto the IPN member company that would be in conflict with our code of practice. Providing that the member and the parent company can guarantee that they can and will uphold the code of practice and rules of the IPN, the company can continue in membership without payment of a joining fee. However if he cannot give that guarantee then his membership will be terminated.
